He’s very kind and explains. He takes his time with you. I trust him and did excellent with my knee replacement. I was worried I would find an orthopedic dr as good to me as Dr Horn was but I found Parks and I’m comfortable with him . He’s extremely caring. Thank you, TOC
Efficient, to the point, great chairside manner. Explained images well. I will be back, hope it's not too soon (grin)!
Kind informative
My experience there yesterday was excellent. Dr Parks and Elise truly made me feel like a valued patient. I don’t always feel that with many of my doctors anymore.
Very professional, friendly, syraight to the point.
It was my first visit with Dr. Parks and when he entered the room my anxiety went away immediately. He as so pleasant and listen to me carefully as I explained my symptoms. He has a wonderful personality and I can tell he genuinely cares about his patience’s.
Took adequate time to answer all my questions and explained the procedure well.
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Parks. He's kind and friendly and always tries to find the answer to the problem/
Although we waited an hour and he was only in our room 5 minutes top
Very nice doctor! He’s given me a few knee injections this year for arthritis which have been very helpful!
